Books & Memories

Books hold special memories for children.  I am sure most of you can remember a book you enjoyed as a child.  I remember those blue Bible Story books and Golden Books when I was little.  As I got older, I read The Little House on the Prairie series.  I also have great memories of reading Sandra Boynton board books to my own children when they were little.  Now we enjoy the silly SkippyJon Jones books.  My class also has favorite books we’ve read this year.  One author I always share with my class is Robert Munsch.   His humor and expression in stories teach kids that reading is FUN!  We want to know what your favorite children’s book is.  Please share your comments with us.  Don’t forget to tell us where you are from so we can locate it on our map.

Field Trip Fun

This past Thursday we were able to take our first field trip of the year.  We went to the Children's Museum and Diebert Park.  The kids loved playing & learning at the children's museum.  The construction zone was definitely a hit.  After we finished there we went to the park.  They played for a while.   Then we went for a walk and enjoyed seeing turtles, fish, swans, and geese.
